Issue: I purchased Dragon NaturallySpeaking v.8 Professional. I have the software installed on my Desktop PC at work and on my Notebook at home. I do most of my dictations at work, therefore; my work profile is far more accurate. Is there a way for me to transfer my correction and macros from my Desktop PC to my Notebook at home.

Resolution: Yes, use the following technique to export your user profile to a new location. You will need a CD writer or USB Jump Drive to complete the transfer of data.

If both computers are on the same network, refer to page 143 in the Dragon NaturallySpeaking manual to set up a roaming profile.
